Need for Correction

    As published, the summary paragraph is incomplete and the Council 
is adding some additional information regarding the availability of 
staff members to answer questions about the document before each public 
hearing.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication on December 20, 1996, of the public 
hearing document (I.D. 120696E), which was the subject of FR DOC 96-
29500, is corrected as follows:
    On page 67294, in the third column, the SUMMARY paragraph is 
corrected to read: ``The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council 
(Council) will convene 10 public hearings on Draft Amendment 8 to the 
Fishery Management Plan for the Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South 
Atlantic Region (FMP) and its associated analyses of regulatory and 
environmental impacts, including a draft supplemental environmental 
impact statement (DSEIS). Due to the complexity of the public hearing 
document, Council staff members will be available at the respective 
hearing locations from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. (one hour before the start of 
the public hearings) to answer questions the public may have about the 
document''.

    Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.

    Dated: December 27, 1996.
